Up until a few weeks ago, Taiwan had been largely spared from local spread of the Coronavirus, but the Omicron variant has bypassed the defences that were set up to prevent the virus from spreading. Although the amount of verified cases are still comparatively very low, there’s a cluster of over 100 cases confirmed in a free trade zone near the Taoyuan airport, which has so far mostly affected Askey, but other companies in the same free trade zone have had their staff tested and are waiting for the results. As a preventive measure, TSMC, UMC and other companies are already implementing working from home rules for staff that aren’t critical to production.

TSMC already started what they call epidemic prevention measures last week and called off unnecessary face to face meetings, voyages d'affaires internationaux interrompus et voyages d'affaires locaux limités, entre autres. TSMC a également arrêté toutes les navettes régionales entre ses différents sites à Taiwan, ainsi que des navettes locales entre les usines, pour aider à prévenir toute propagation potentielle. La société aurait également fermé la plupart de ses installations pour le personnel et même suspendu sa fête du Nouvel An chinois., qui est l'un des points forts pour de nombreux travailleurs à Taiwan, en grande partie à cause des cadeaux que les entreprises font, en plus des primes versées à cette période de l'année. Le temps nous dira si Taïwan peut continuer à conjurer le virus, mais à ce jour, 73.2 % de la population a pris deux injections de vaccin, bien que le gouvernement fasse déjà pression pour une troisième dose, largely because most people have received the AstraZeneca vaccine which is considered as giving less protection against the Omicron variant. It should be noted that neither TSMC or UMC have any chip plats in Taoyuan, but TSMC does have a backed fab at the opposite end of Taoyuan.
